I'm currently in Oakridge and the weather is sucking hard. I was planning on doing a roadie to JTree on the 2nd, but that got postponed a couple weeks. Grr 
Anyway, with chances of precipitation hovering around 30% at Smith all week, it looks relatively inviting (feel free to suggest other crags).
I have to admit, for a guy who has a full rack, a silent partner, and knows Smith well, I'm pretty desperate. I don't yet trust that device on anything more difficult than 10a and I want to try leading more 11s. So if you're a 9-10 climber who wants a rope gun or a 12+ climber who needs a belay bitch, please contact me 
If nobody replies, I'll probably end up top-roping crap until serendipity catches up to reality.

i wish I was there, but smith sounds like a good bet. I've gone there when the forecast says 70% chance of rain and had not problems, the rock dries off so quickly, and there's plenty of overhanging rock to climb.

Yea, I remember climbing Chicken McNuggets when it started to rain over three years ago. The knobs proceeded to rip pieces of skin off all but one of my fingers, as if I were trying to catch a piranha or something. Not quite sure what the correlation is, but I've tried to keep my fingers dry since then
At least I won't grease off chalked holds, which caused one too many unexpected whippers for me.
